Best Holding Poems
Holding Back the TimeIn visions of yesteryear where there was love
Nothing but despair on the faces of hope
And shattered remains of a romantic fairytale
Whose happy ending has been snatched away
Yet, I grind sand-grains hoping to make water
Counting blindly on the blessings of a miracle
Knowing well indeed it's a...

Holding WaterI wish love could be a river
Flowing through the trees
Sparkling like crystal waters
So I can drink her as I please
But this love she's complicated
She often brings me to my knees
My need is like a fever
That feels like a disease
At times she make me...

Just Keep Holding OnJust keep holding on
I know to you, the world doesn't feel right
I know, you gave up, you gave up the fight
I know, to you, the world is your enemy
I know, you feel, you feel you'll never be free
Chorus
So Just keep holding on...
the nights almost over...
soon...

Just An Old Poet, Holding On Until I DieJust An Old Poet, Holding On Until I Die
I write verse, live in the moment and score the past
oft revealing naked truths that set some aghast,
yet with rhyme and reason, I ink stain each white page,
some even tried to knock me off the poet's stage.
Tho'...

Holding Daybreak In PauseOn your mulberry canvas
I inscribed my tangerine sun
Cached behind a dark rock
When violet dawn broke
Beneath orchid clouds
Your lilac brushstrokes arose
From steel-blue ocean
As gentle winds tickled
Platinum-hued ripples
I sprinkled orange glow
Where you embossed
Shades of ruby-desire
On pink-rose magenta
Floating on purple fire
In silence we held hands
Celebrating romance
Ablaze...

Holding Hands With the DevilWhat’s in her mind, sharp lines slice her in half,
Into faded dark red, green and blue,
And the flowers cover up each emotional scar,
From ever even shining on through,
To show the gouges ripped from her thoughts,
To show the bruised, shaken, and torn,
Slit while...

I am lost in a sea of gray,
stones worn old and...

Holding Always WarmDazzling golden beams

when I look into your eyes
dreams enchanting magic
Sparkling treasure gems
through sun smiling thoughts
Warm rays in her deep fingers

In your smile stands out
A rose blossoms heart of this soul
flowers so hot amazing...

Holding a Wilting Red Rose
I carried it on my lap all the way to you,
The bus ride was so long, so long, Mom;
Lost in old memories of you and me, together,

Holding On To the Expectations of a New DawnYou swallow billions in cash, yet your assault strengthens,
everything with life now stands on one side against you
but your unpredictability is what gives you this audacity.
Your sarcasm and indifference to mankind
may seem to amputate medical science
but even on wheel-chairs,
we will hold hands together, never...

Holding Abigail In My Armsholding Abigail in my arms
my cat is treated to lessons mother
passed on to me
bury your face in her neck
and gently rub your cheek
she will arch backward into the nuzzling
chew softly on her ears
the more you pay attention
to the back of the head
the brain will fire...

Holding On To LoveHolding On To Love (Ten Word Challenge - 2)
Not even the TACTILE, brown sands of time can erase
my Beloved’s LUSCIOUS taste. BITTERSWEET dreams
wrapped in pink ribbons arouse my soul like QUIESCENT,
rhythmic raindrops tip-tip-toeing on AMBIVALENT seashores.
FLAMBOYANT and ARCANE as a rare, white peacock,
my Beloved...

Holding Precious a Treasured DreamAs the morning sun
smiles warmly with colour
upon you my love
It's all around embraced within a circle
kissing each and every single breath
inside jumping heartbeats pop
A moonbeam enters softly embraced
your the light of destiny kissed
beautiful rose shining gold gift wrapped
Amazing...

Holding Back TearsWhen granny was still alive
she used to tell me~
" Don't cry when I die,
for tears are melted salt
that had escaped from oceans;
Spare your tears, spare your salt,
Just sing me a song~
a song I first taught you."
Two decades ago, she bade adieu,
and in front of her...

Holding On (Homeward Bound)To the tune of Simon And Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound"
for the music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs_YQ6JuNpA
When I asked you to the County Fair
You had just rolled your eyes and twirled your hair
Got down on one knee to plead
Come with me, baby, pretty please
We'll have a ball, I'm begging you
I...
